Being a holiday, the visitor center was not open, so it was a good thing I had two bottles of water, which I had to carefully ration. Also good that I remembered sunscreen. In addition to all the flowers, I also saw two hawks, a turtle, a couple of dragonflies as big as small birds (seriously!), one chipmunk, several wild turkeys, and two garter snakes, one of which I almost stepped on—good thing I wear sensible walking shoes and not the flip flops I see too many people wearing there.
Anyway, I hope everyone else had a good weekend, no matter how you spent it!
Hopefully I will do better in May than I did in April!1. Read a book including siblings...
